The  Bradley Commander has 3 periscopes to look out of 1 forward, one 45 degrees to the right and 1 90 degrees to the right. Unfortunately the only one you can actually look out of well is the forward scope using the V key. The M2A2 is realistic and proper, unfortunately a game limitation prevents the proper use of the other periscopes.<span id='postcolor'> It is too bad the programmers couldn't have been able to give us the capability to control turret motion as the commander of the vehicle.  Or, give us the option of looking through the three viewports in order to have a 180 degree view.  This is a cool vehicle and would be fun to command in the game.  Alas, makes being the commander of this vehicle worthless.

Â Someday, I hope to get to the level you are but for now, I think I'll stick to the very basics. Â I am learning fast. Â This is a powerful game but it takes me time to figure all the nuances of the editor. Â Makes it fun though. Â You really can be very creative with the mission editor. So far, I've created a pretty good "test conversation" with the script advice from those posting previous to you. Â It is working well. Â Thanks to you all. I'll look into the "game logic" issue a bit later. Â Do you have anything I could read on the subject? Â Are there tutorials dealing with game logic? Thanks again.

Excellent. I was thinking in terms of something like what you both describe. This puts it in better perspective for me. I will try this tonight as I continue building the mission. Thank you for the help.

I will but first wanted to see if anyone else had any suggestions. Â Also figured Aculaud would have seen this post and responded. Perhaps the answer to my question is a national security issue.

I've been experimenting with the bradley apc in the mission editor. I've noticed something when in the "commander" position and looking outside in the weapon view mode. One cannot rotate the turret by moving the mouse like you would and can do in all the other tanks and apcs. I can rotate the turret when looking through weapon view mode as the gunner. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Is this a bug? Thanks.

59 views of this question and not one reply. Â Does this mean I am missing something so simple that the question is idiotic? Â Or is what I am trying to do just so complicated, nobody has the answer? Just looking for a pointer here, not a dissertation. Cheers, Enigma65

Aculaud, In your mission Terror Tactics, how did you set up the text conversations between the player character and the AI personages? Is it a combination of triggers or did you have to write a special script for that? Â I'm trying to do the same for a mission I'm creating.

You are right. It worked. Thanks for the help.

Okay, what I had in mind did not work. What I want to do is this: I as the "player" am moving to a point on the map. I want to meet a civillian there. I have the civillian in a vehicle several Km away sitting at a "holdpoint." I want the civilian driver to drive his vehicle to where I am meeting him. I do not want the civilian driver to get there before I do. I want a trigger to activate when I reach the designated spot on the map and I want it to tell the civilian driver unit to move on (from the holdpoint) to the next movepoint and on to where I am waiting for him. I've got the waypoints set up and a trigger synchronized but I am missing something here.

Okay, wait a minute, I think I get it. Let me try it and get back to you. This may work.

Right, but what is the "command" string which goes into the "on activation" field?

I'm fooling around with a new mission I'm working on. I have a car at a hold point. I want it to move on to the next movepoint after a "trigger" has been tripped. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Thanks.

Also, and please someone correct me if I'm wrong but in the options section of the game, you can set or "check" a button called super AI. I've not done it yet but I'm assuming this makes the AI react even faster to situations in the game. Â Anyone know about this, please do inform. Cheers.

Great mission Aculaud! Â You have the look and touch of an artist. I have only gotten through the mission once successfully. Â The other times I've been killed though my own foolishness or that of my spotter. I'm basically now trying to figure out how to control the spotter better because I find at times he goes off on wild goose chases and gets himself into trouble. Â I try bailing him out and get shot. Â The last time I tried assisting him, I was skipping along a field and lo and behold, an enemy sniper took me out. Â Some black ops I am. Â Give us more. P.S. I'm just learning to do missions myself and your mission has given me some great ideas to try on my own creations.
